Surface passivation provided by an alneal through sio2/tio2 bilayer
No full textThe process of annealing a SiO2 dielectric layer coated in aluminium, termed the alneal, is known to produce some of the most effective surface passivation for silicon. However, it is traditionally performed on a SiO2 dielectric coating which has sub-optimal anti-reflection properties. In this work it is shown that it is possible to achieve alneal passivation through a double layer SiO2/TiO2 stack. TiO2 was investigated as it is one of the most effective antireflection coatings available and its deposition technology is advanced and cost effective. Here, the alneal was carried out on n-type ~40 Ωcm Cz-Si coated with a SiO2/TiO2 dielectric stack. In the best case, the alneal produced a lifetime increase from ~15 μs to 3084 μs, which equates to a SRV ≤ 10 cm/s or a J0e of 32 fA/cm2. This increase in lifetime was comparable to that achieved by a conventional alneal on a single layer SiO2 specimen. It was also found that the thicker the TiO2, the less effective the alneal was at passivating. Lastly, the passivation achieved after the alneal on the SiO2/TiO2 bilayer was found to be more stable than that achieved on the conventional single SiO2 layer

Camilla Collett: Translating Women’s Silence in Nineteenth Century Norway
No full textThe Norwegian author and feminist, Camilla Collett (1813-1895), who is remembered as the most influential and controversial woman of her time in her own country, is little known in the English-speaking world. Had she written in one of Europe’s major languages, the quality of her literary production and her contribution to the rights of women would undoubtedly have brought her international recognition in her own lifetime. During her life, Collett was known as Scandinavia’s greatest prose stylist and was praised for her beauty of expression. At the same time, she was criticized for the discordant notes of discontentment that pulsated beneath the surface. The works that I translate and discuss here are representative of the wide scope of her genres, her gradual refinement of her ideas, and her stylistic evolution. The translations, along with my translation notes and textual analyses, provide a picture of how her views on the inequities women suffered were influenced by her life story, the revolutionary events taking place in Norway at the time, and the prevailing legal and social codes that restricted young women’s development into independent adults. Her writings from her years as an expatriate brought European thought and culture to readers in remote Norway. Her observations about the condition of women anticipate Pierre Bourdieu’s and Laura Mulvey’s theories in our time. Through Bourdieu’s discussion of the manner in which institutions serve to support male dominance, Mulvey’s analysis of male and female interactions, and my contextualization of late eighteenth and nineteenth-century literature and culture, I show how institutionalized male dominance affected Camilla Collett’s life and thought. Legal and social injustice faced by women in nineteenth-century Scandinavia and Europe is the central theme of her writings. For more than fifty years, Camilla Collett wrote about the subjugation of women and searched for ways to inspire women to become independent. For many years she waged a lonely battle, but her cause gained momentum in the last decades of her life. The rights and opportunities enjoyed by Norwegian women today are a testimony to her success.</p

No full textThis study investigates the impact of class attendance and the use of optional formative assessment tasks on student performance. We hypothesise that a positive relationship exists between students ’ attendance rates and their success on assessment tasks. We also hypothesise a positive relationship between the extent to which students use formative assessment tasks (in the form of on-line multiplechoice question sets) and their success on summative assessment tasks. The question of whether attendance and the use of formative assessment have a complementary or substitutional impact on results is also investigated. The results indicate that after controlling for other factors likely to affect student performance, attendance at class and use of on-line formative assessment tasks do affect student performance. However, there is no further synergistic performance improvement to be achieved from both being a good attendee and a high user of the self-assessment quizzes. 41 42 Collett, Gyles, and Hrasky Further, attendance and self-assessment opportunities do not act as substitutes for each other. That is, students cannot compensate for poor attendance by making greater use of the self- assessment opportunities and vice versa. Key words: formative assessment, summative assessment, attendance Data availability: Data are available on request from the third author

Influence of morphometric factors on quantitation of paracellular permeability of intestinal epithelia in vitro
No full textPurpose. The relative contribution of the small and large intestine to paracellular absorption is a subject of some controversy. Direct comparison of paracellular permeability in different epithelia is complicated by variations in junctional density and/or the absorptive surface area.Methods. This study used a combination of morphometric analyses and in vitro absorption studies to define permeability characteristics in relation to the amount of paracellular pathway present in rat ileum, colon and the model epithelium, Caco-2.Results. Mucosal to serosal amplification was higher in ileum (3.9) than colon (1.9) or Caco-2 (1). Tight junctional density (1p) of ileal crypts was ?3 fold greater (91 m/cm2) than that measured in ileal villi, colonic surface and crypt cells or Caco-2 monolayers (34?37 m/ cm2). However, when the relative contributions of the crypts and villi was taken into account there was no significant difference in the mean 1p per mucosal area for the three epithelia studied. Using these data to correct for morphometric differences the permeabilities of a range of small hydrophilic molecules (atenolol, D-PheAsp and PEG oligomers MW 282-634) was measured. Permeability of rat ileum and colon were virtually identical for all compounds studied. In contrast, Caco-2 monolayers showed a significantly lower permeability than intestinal tissues with the difference increasing markedly with molecular size.Conclusions. These studies suggest the importance of accounting for morphological variation when comparing the permeability characteristics of different epithelial system
Towards a history of intellectuals in Norway : literary practices, nation-building and secularization in Christiania (1811-1869)
No full textLe présent texte propose de questionner le postulat couramment admis selon lequel l'émergence des intellectuels nationalistes au XIXe siècle est parallèle à une déchristianisation de la vie sociale et culturelle, en se focalisant sur l’ensemble des littérateurs norvégiens publiant dans la période 1811-1869. C'est plus spécifiquement les rapports entre Belles-lettres, construction nationale et sécularisation qui constituent le cœur de cette enquête, avec une attention portée sur la principale arène de la vie scientifique norvégienne : l’université de Christiania. Après avoir recensé les contraintes matérielles, politiques et religieuses qui conditionnent le développement de la vie culturelle dans la capitale du jeune royaume, l'auteur propose une analyse socio-historique systématique de tous les littérateurs norvégiens, ainsi qu'un échantillonnage des auteurs les plus productifs afin de déterminer l'évolution des rapports des écrivains, amateurs de Belles-lettres, nationalistes ou scandinavistes, avec le fait religieux et l'Église d'État norvégienne. La notion de "pratique littéraire" permet d'aborder la littérature comme un phénomène social multiforme, au croisement entre l'histoire de l'éducation, histoire des idées, histoire religieuse et sociologie de la littérature, et permet de comprendre les mutations essentielles et les ambigüités indépassables de l’identité sociale des intellectuels contemporainsThis paper proposes to question the common assumption according to which the emergence of nationalist intellectuals in the 19th century is parallel to a secularization of the social and cultural life. To do so the author focuses on all Norwegian authors who published between 1811 and 1869. It is specifically the relationship between fine literature, nation-building and church life which is the core of this investigation, with a particular attention towards the main arena of scientific life in Norway: the University of Christiania. The first step has consisted in identifying the material, political and religious constraints which enabled or prevented the development of a literary social field in the capital of the newly restored kingdom. The author proposes then a systematic socio-historical analysis of all Norwegian writers, and a sampling of the most productive among them, in order to determine the evolution of the relations between nationalist or Scandinavist poets, academic authorities and the life of the Norwegian State Church. The notion of "literary practice" can address the literature as a multifaceted social phenomenon at the intersection between the history of education, history of ideas, religious history and sociology of literature, and to understand essential changes and unavoidable ambiguities of the social identity of late-modern intellectuals
