The Influence of Water Content and Water Dose on Adhesion of Solar Module Interfaces
No full textabstract: Delamination of solar module interfaces often occurs in field-tested solar modules after decades of service due to environmental stressors such as humidity. In the presence of water, the interfaces between the encapsulant and the cell, glass, and backsheet all experience losses of adhesion, exposing the module to accelerated degradation. Understanding the relation between interfacial adhesion and water content inside photovoltaic modules can help mitigate detrimental power losses. Water content measurements via water reflectometry detection combined with 180° peel tests were used to study adhesion of module materials exposed to damp heat and dry heat conditions. The effect of temperature, cumulative water dose, and water content on interfacial adhesion between ethylene vinyl acetate and (1) glass, (2) front of the cell, and (3) backsheet was studied. Temperature and time decreased adhesion at all these interfaces. Water content in the sample during the measurement showed significant decreases in adhesion for the Backsheet/Ethylene vinyl acetate interface. Water dose showed little effect for the Glass/ Ethylene vinyl acetate and Backsheet/ Ethylene vinyl acetate interfaces, but there was significant adhesion loss with water dose at the front cell busbar/encapsulant interface. Initial tensile test results to monitor the effects of the mechanical properties ethylene vinyl acetate and backsheet showed water content increasing the strength of ethylene vinyl acetate during plastic deformation but no change in the strength of the backsheet properties. This mechanical property change is likely inducing variation along the peel interface to possibly convolute the adhesion measurements conducted or to explain the variation seen for the water saturated and dried peel test sample types.Dissertation/ThesisMasters Thesis Materials Science and Engineering 202
Surface passivation of black silicon phosphorus emitters with atomic layer deposited SiO2/Al2O3 stacks
No full textBlack silicon (b-Si) is a promising surface structure for solar cells due to its low reflectance and excellent light trapping properties. While atomic layer deposited (ALD) Al2O3 has been shown to passivate efficiently lightly-doped b-Si surfaces and boron emitters, the negative fixed charge characteristic of Al2O3 thin films makes it unfavorable for the passivation of more commonly used n+ emitters. This work studies the potential of ALD SiO2/Al2O3 stacks for the passivation of b-Si phosphorus emitters fabricated by an industrially viable POCl3 gas phase diffusion process. The stacks have positive charge density (Qtot = 5.5·1011 cm-2) combined with high quality interface (Dit = 2.0·1011 cm-2eV-1) which is favorable for such heavily-doped n-type surfaces. Indeed, a clear improvement in emitter saturation current density, J0e, is achieved with the stacks compared to bare Al2O3 in both b-Si and planar emitters. However, although the positive charge density in the case of black silicon is even higher (Qtot = 2.0·1012 cm-2), the measured J0e is limited by the recombination in the emitter due to heavy doping of the nanostructures. The results thus imply that in order to obtain lower saturation current density on b-Si, careful optimization of the black silicon emitter profile is needed.Peer reviewe
Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas: from the phármakon to the writing, the game, the truth
No full textSegundo o “defunto autor” de Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas, o verdadeiro motivo de sua morte teria sido uma “ideia grandiosa e útil”, a invenção de um emplasto contra a melancolia. E ele sabe que fabricar um phármakon, relacionado a Thot, deus da escritura e da medicina, só é possível através do livro. Propomos neste ensaio, uma análise de Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas utilizando modelos médicos e farmacêuticos, ao mesmo tempo “alguns dos elementos da química utilizada por Derrida” em A farmácia de Platão. According to the "deceased author" (or “author deceased”) of Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas, the true reason for their death would have been a "great and useful idea", the invention of a medicine against the melancholy. Only through the book, it would be possible to produce phármakon, related to Theut, god of scripture and medicine. We propose to analyze the literary book Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas using medical and pharmaceutical models, besides of some phármakon-scripture chemicals elements, from Derrida’s “La pharmacie de Platon”
Ahwatukee Foothills Village Final Residential Structural Report
No full textabstract: This project report contains the design of a low-cost structural model of a residential structure in the City of Phoenix, AZ. The structural unit will be part of a residential area in Ahwatukee Foothills Village located just south of South Mountain. The residential structure is 3600 square feet and consists of three bedrooms (including the master bedroom), two bathrooms (including the master bathroom), a 2-car garage, laundry room, kitchen, dining room, and a living room. There are two elevation options (A & B) for the roof framing plan. Elevation A includes a straight forward truss package consisting of two truss designs with no hip or girder trusses. Elevation B includes a more complex truss package which includes girder trusses, hip trusses, and corner jacks. Within both elevations, the trusses run perpendicular to the ridge of the structure as displayed in the Architectural Floor Plan (see Figure 4) with the exception of the hip trusses and corner jacks in Elevation B.
The design objective is to meet all safety specifications while minimizing the total cost of members and member connections. The design also aims to streamline the construction time and resources by using standard member cross section dimensions. This residential building report is carried out in accordance with the City of Phoenix standards and follows the ASCE7-10 code for the dead and live load combinations and wind pressures. This report also references the National Design Specifications (NDS) 2005 for the column design. HT Consulting Group is excited to create a safe and sustainable development for the residents within Ahwatukee Foothills Village
Characterization of a multi-heme cytochrome c from Heliobacterium modesticaldum genome
No full textabstract: Heliobacterium modesticaldum (H. modesticaldum) is an anaerobic photoheterotroph that can produce molecular hydrogen (H2) when it is fixing dinitrogen (N2). In addition, electrons can be injected into this organism via an electrode and redox mediator in a light-dependent fashion, as shown recently by the Redding and Jones research groups. These factors make H. modesticaldum an ideal organism for use in a microbial photoelectrosynthesis cell, in which electricity can be used to power specific metabolic processes that produce a desired compound (e.g. H2). However, the injection of electrons into this organism is not optimal, which may limit the H2 production rate. There is a gene (HM1_0653) in the genome encoding a multi-heme cytochrome c that is similar to the proteins known to be used for exit of electrons in the well- known electrode-respiring bacteria (e.g. Geobacteria). RNA-sequencing in the Redding lab has shown that the HM1_0653 gene is very poorly expressed in H. modesticaldum. Boosting expression of this cytochrome could lead to faster electron transfer into the cells and thereby more H2 production via photoelectrosynthesis. In order to gain a deeper understanding of this protein, it was expressed in E.coli by two different versions: (1) the entire gene and (2) a truncated gene with an additional hexahistidine tag (truncHM1_0653). Both cultures had a pink color, indicating the biosynthesis of cytochrome. It was discovered that the HM1_0653 protein was likely released into the medium and shows the most promise for ease of purification of HM1_0653. Furthermore, we explored protein expression in H. modesticaldum using the current transformation system in the Redding Lab, but the combination of gene toxicity and copy number of the vector resulted in cloning difficulties in E.coli. An alternative vector may prove more successful

Outlook. A few years ago Congress
found l>y extended Investigation thnt
the Territory was the harboring place
of outlaws: that.white men who bad
■untried Indian women held thousands
of acres- of thu lluest html, while the
full-blooded tudian was living hark In
the woods and barely getting enough
to sustain life. The whites aud treacherous half-brveds were gradually grnli-
blng all the Territory. Congress therefore decided that It would be better to
break fnltb with tbem and save them
the remnants of their luvested fuuds.

a commission appointed under
the Curtis act, which wns panscd by
Congress in June, 1866. Town sites are
being laid ont. aud tbe Indians are being enrolled for tbelr allotments of

colls a "veritable paradtee for white
people." So anxious are the Indians
to get rid of the laud that many of
them sell tbelr "ccrtlflcatea of selection." which become bills of sale to the
land. Aa soon as the work of tbls
commission Is completed and the Indians have received their allotments,
the land will gradually pass luto the

TAKING HIS ADVICE
It. SHKI.DON was Ihe principal merchant In thc Imiiortant

he was still more proud of the fact that
had made It all himself, nnd bis
pride was greatest" because In* liad
made It by never allowing anybody to
