    Collection efficiency at near-bandgap wavelengths in actual Si solar cells

    No full text
    An expression for collection efficiency in actual Si solar cells is derived from the expression of Basore for inverse quantum efficiency vs. absorption depth at near-bandgap wavelengths. In the new expression, only internal rear-surface reflectance is an adjustable parameter. The new expression is used in reported actual Si solar cells, where it is compared to different approaches to evaluate collection efficiency including the linear fitting to inverse internal quantum efficiency versus absorption depth. This allows showing experimentally that these approaches are more liable to errors than the proposed expression for collection efficiency. © 2018 Author(s)

    Saturation current as a function of sheet resistance in Si

    No full text
    We present the exact analytical solution to minority-carrier transport in the dark for non-uniformly doped Si regions in low-level injection, where bulk lifetime is inversely proportional to the square of doping density according to the Dziewior and Schmid model of Auger recombination and diffusivity is constant. The relevant expression for emitter saturation current density, J0em, can be set as a function of sheet resistance, RSHEET. Reported measured J0em(RSHEET)-curves in n- and p-type metal-coated emitters are matched by the presented J0em(RSHEET)-expression. To this aim, reported doping functions for band-gap narrowing are set as functions of RSHEET. The application range of the presented solution is checked. © 2018 Author(s)

    Simple modeling of intrinsic bulk lifetime in doped silicon

    No full text
    Based on the data in the literature, in highly-doped Si, where Auger recombination predominates, one can observe that, while minority-carrier bulk lifetime is inversely proportional to the square of doping density, diffusivity can be taken as constant. This implies that, at high dopings, diffusion length can be considered as proportional to the reciprocal of doping density. In the present work, we assume that such a dependence of diffusion length on doping holds at lower dopings as well, in the case, where Auger recombination prevails. This allows deriving a very simple expression for Auger lifetime as a function of diffusivity that is used together with a reported expression for radiative lifetime to calculate intrinsic lifetime at all dopings. The new expression for intrinsic lifetime is consistent with reported doping functions for minority-carrier diffusivity and agrees with the data of lifetime for dopings higher than 4×1017 cm-3 in both p-type Si and n-type Si. We exploit the relevant theory to show that such results are due to the fact that, at those doping levels, both diffusivity and Auger recombination are enhanced by electron-hole interaction. © 2018 Author(s)

    Arm-based control of a lower limb exoskeleton: Proof of concept of a novel approach based on the shoulder kinematics

    No full text
    Recognising the user’s locomotive intentions is crucial for the correct functionality of exoskeletons and active orthoses. For gait applications, extrapolating control inputs from the arm swing may be worthwhile, since arm oscillations naturally occur during human locomotion. A similar method would be unaffected by severe impairments of the lower limbs, and there is evidence suggesting enhanced results of gait rehabilitation when arms and legs exercise together. In this thesis, we propose a control algorithm to drive online a lower limb exoskeleton through the arm swing. Contrary to a previous EMG-based approach by La Scaleia et al. (2014), our algorithm exploits shoulder kinematic data to mimic “single swinging”, a natural mode of human interlimb coordination which is characterised by each arm swinging in-phase with the contralateral leg. Our proposed control architecture relies on two major modules: an Arm Observer and a Gait Generator. The Arm Observer consists of an adaptive frequency oscillator which extrapolates the frequency and phase of the arm swing by receiving online measurements of the angular shoulder position in the sagittal plane. This data is used by the Gait Generator to compute lower limb trajectories, based on regression models from a previous study by Koopman et al. (2014). We validated our controller through human-subject experiments, involving three participants walking on a treadmill with and without a lower limb exoskeleton, the Lopes II. When feed by data associated with natural walking, our adaptive frequency oscillator could very precisely replicate the arm swing frequency, stride cadence and timing of shoulder flexion peaks when walking faster than 0.5 m/s. When wearing the exoskeleton, our algorithm allowed the participants to cope with constant and variable treadmill velocities in the range of 0.5-1.25 m/s. As such, the results of this thesis show that our proposed approach can extend the applicability of arm-based control to walking speeds suitable for gait rehabilitation and assistance.Mechanical Engineering | BioMechanical Desig

    We developed a new process for the fabrication of crystalline solar cell, based on an ultrathin silicon membrane, taking advantage of porous silicon technology. The suggested architecture allows the costs reduction of silicon based solar cell reusing the same wafer to produce a great number of membranes. The architectures combines the efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cell, with the great absorption of porous silicon, and with a more efficient way to use the material. The new process faces the main challenge to achieve an effective and not expensive passivation of the porous silicon surface, in order to achieve an efficient photovoltaic device. At the same time the process suggests a smart way to selective doping of the macroporous silicon layers despite the through-going pores. © 2015 IEEE.

ABSTRACT Literature is a work of art in the form of writing that has aesthetic value. The aesthetic value of literature can be seen from how language and words complement each other and produce beautiful works to be enjoyed, heard and felt. Literature (literary work) is a work of art that uses language as its medium. Literary language is a language that contains the meaning of verbs. Literary language is a special language that results from its composition and writing. Literature likes to offer beauty, give meaning to life (death, misery, or joy) or release the world of imagination, so that it can poison us without us knowing it. The researcher uses the concept of implied reader. Implied reader contains two aspects, namely the role of the reader in the structure of the text and the role of the reader in structuring the short story of the land of birds by Taufik Al-Hakim. Research In literary studies, Iser's reception aesthetic theory has a fairly wide place. The assumption of literature is that a corpus has two poles, which are called the artistic (author) and aesthetic (reader) poles. The reading process occurs in the interaction between the text and the reader. The psychology of the reader and the function of the structure of language are important things that influence the reading process of a reader. After researching well and in detail the researchers found answers to the formulation of the problem regarding the reader's acceptance of the intrinsic elements in the novel. This acceptance is in the form of believing in the existence of human greed which is stated in the novel by Taufik Al-Hakim. Then the reader's response to the short story of the land of birds varies, depending on the recipients from several circles, the researchers themselves understand the meaning that the author wants to convey so that the values in the short story are conveyed. The short story of the land of birds is a short story that has several message values that the author wants to convey to the reader. Researchers found several values contained in the novel including the motivation to always be optimistic, intelligence of mind and soul, motivation to always feel enough. ABSTRAK Sastra merupakan suatu karya seni berupa tulisan yang memiliki nilai estetika.

    El médico actual enfrenta una serie de creencias populares relacionadas con la salud y la enfermedad que el paciente trae como parte de su bagaje cultural, por lo cual debe estar atento a que dichas creencias y sus propias creencias no afecten la relación médico-paciente, la cual tiene gran peso en los resultados del ejercicio médico y representa uno de los muchos retos que enfrenta el médico del siglo XXI. Se enfatiza en la relación médico-paciente como parte importante del ejercicio médico, así como la relevancia de la estructura de las prácticas médicas, según la perspectiva del autor fundante del acto intelectivo. Se planteó como propósito realizar una revisión de las reflexiones autorales que muestran una gran preocupación por la formación del médico como especialista en ginecología y obstetricia, centrada en las nuevas expectativas y desafíos que son confrontados hoy día. La investigación ha sido de carácter documental. La metodología es contrastar la opinión de los autores citados. A partir de esa reflexión se ha concluido que: el médico clínico no puede ser formado como un científico puro, y sólo en el terreno clínico, puesto que, la relación médico-paciente se debe fortalecer con la educación profesional médica, por ello, no puede limitarse a capacitar a los futuros especialistas en cuanto a la adquisición de conocimientos científicos, sino que, de manera obligatoria, debe extenderse tanto a los valores así como a las actitudes humanísticas que cualquier médico debe tener como profesional sobre la práctica y el saber médico.Recibido: 26/06/2023 Aceptado: 08/08/2023The current doctor faces a series of popular beliefs related to health and disease that the patient brings as part of his cultural baggage, for which he must be careful that said beliefs and his own beliefs do not affect the doctor-patient relationship, the which has great weight in the results of medical practice and represents one of the many challenges facing the physician of the 21st century. Emphasis is placed on the doctor-patient relationship as an important part of medical practice, as well as the relevance of the structure of medical practices, according to the perspective of the founding author of the intellective act. The purpose was to carry out a review of the authorial reflections that show a great concern for the training of the future doctor as a specialist in gynecology and obstetrics, focused on the new expectations and challenges that are faced today. The investigation has been of a documentary nature. The methodology is to contrast the opinion of the cited authors. Based on this reflection, it has been concluded that: the clinical physician cannot be trained as a pure scientist, since clinical work must be based equally on science and art, and it is here where the relationship doctor-patient is part of this art, which strengthens professional medical education, especially in the clinical field, which cannot be limited to training future specialists in the acquisition of scientific knowledge, but must, in a mandatory manner, , extend to the humanistic values and attitudes that any doctor should have as a professional regarding medical practice and knowledge

    THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE ELEVENTH GRADE STUDENTS' READING COMPREHENSION AND THEIR TRANSLATION ABILITY AT SMK ISLAM 2 DURENAN

    Reading is a process that readers engage in to acquire the message that the author intends to convey through the use of written language or words. Reading comprehension is the skill of being able to grasp, analyze, and criticize written works in a way that makes sense. Translation means putting the meaning of a text into another language in the way that the author meant it. Reading and translation are related to one another. Despite this, students studying translation must be able to scan or skim content. Since they are now reading just for the sake of translation, they also need to read for a deeper understanding. This research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational research design. This study aimed to determine whether there is significant correlation between students’ reading comprehension and translation ability. The population of this study was 129 students of class XI of SMK Islam 2 Durenan. The researcher used random sampling technique, and obtained a sample of 35 students consisting of 1 class. The instruments of this research were reading comprehension and translation ability test. The data collected were analyzed by using Pearson Product Moment Correlation in SPSS 27.0. The analysis showed that the correlation coefficient (r) was 0.937 with a significance value of <0.001, this indicates that the null hypothesis (H₀) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. These result show a very strong positive correlation between students’ reading comprehension and their translation ability. The meaning of the strong positive correlation is shown by the improvement of the average scores for the reading comprehension and the translation ability

    AbstractThis study aims to evaluate and characterize the properties of modified asphalt cements exposed to high temperature. The Acrylate Styrene Acrylonhrtilrei (ASA) polymer and nano aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles were added to the base asphalt cement with concentrations of 3, 5 and 7% of the weight of asphalt. The storage stability, viscosity, frequency sweep and MSRC test were considered for evaluation. The results demonstrate that the addition of ASA polymer and Al2O3 nanoparticles content have a great influence on the rheological properties of the asphalt cement at high temperatures. Additionally, it is clear that the storage stability of modified asphalt cements with ASA polymer and Al2O3 nanoparticles has good compatibility among the asphalt cement and the modifiers. Moreover, the complex modulus (G*) improves as the concentration of both modifiers increases. The improvement was 63.70% for 5% ASA polymer, and 71.12% for 5% Al2O3 at 75°C. Moreover, the modified asphalt cements demonstrates great resistance to high temperatures rutting, as the enhancement was up to 80 and 59% for 5% concentration of ASA and Al2O3. The modification of asphalt cements provides increasing the creep recovery up to 69.23 and 62.53%. It was found that the usage of ASA polymer and Al2O3 nanoparticles is able to mitigate asphalt cement problems at high temperatures, and 5% is considered as the optimum content of both modifiers
