A Novel Version of HPM Coupled with the PSEM Method for Solving the Blasius Problem by Uriel Filobello-Nino, Hector Vazquez-Leal, Jesus Huerta-Chua, Victor Manuel Jimenez-Fernandez, Mario Alberto Sandoval-Hernandez, Enrique Delgado-Alvarado, Victor Manuel Tlapa-Carrera

“…As a matter of fact, we will note from this analysis that the proposed solution is compact and easy to evaluate and involves a sum of five exponential functions plus a linear part of two terms, which is ideal for practical applications. With the purpose to get a better approximation, we find useful to combine PHPM with the power series extender method (PSEM) which implies to add to the PHPM solution one rational function with parameters to adjust. …”

Overcoming optical losses in thin metal-based recombination layers for efficient n-i-p perovskite-organic tandem solar cells by Jingjing Tian, Chao Liu, Karen Forberich, Anastasia Barabash, Zhiqiang Xie, Shudi Qiu, Jiwon Byun, Zijian Peng, Kaicheng Zhang, Tian Du, Sanjayan Sathasivam, Thomas J. Macdonald, Lirong Dong, Chaohui Li, Jiyun Zhang, Marcus Halik, Vincent M. Le Corre, Andres Osvet, Thomas Heumüller, Ning Li, Yinhua Zhou, Larry Lüer, Christoph J. Brabec

“…However, their performance is hampered by non-ideal interconnection layers (ICLs). Especially in n-i-p configurations, the incorporation of metal nanoparticles negatively introduces serious parasitic absorption, which alleviates photon utilization in organic rear cell and decisively constrains the maximum photocurrent matching with front cell. …”

Evaluation of Water Resources Carrying Capacity in Liaoning Province Based on Entropy Weight TOPSIS Model by REN Bo, CAO Yongqiang, LI Kexin, YANG Xueting, ZHOU Shuhan, ZHAO Hui

“…Water resources are important for human survival.The utilization of water resources can influence the water cycle.At the same time,as an integral part of the hydrological cycle,water resources have a restrictive effect on the natural environment and human beings.In this paper,the relevant data on water resources,society,economy,and ecology from 2010 to 2020 were sorted out,and a multi-factor evaluation system was constructed.The weights were determined by combining the analytic hierarchy process and the entropy weight method.The ideal point method and a coupling coordination model were used to evaluate the water resources carrying capacity and the coordinated development level of each subsystem in Liaoning Province.In this way,it is expected to perfect the water resources management system and promote the development of water resources.The following results were obtained from this study.① The water resources carrying capacity of Liaoning Province showed an increasing trend during 2010—2020,and the carrying capacity was evaluated as grades Ⅱ—Ⅳ.② The coupling coordination level of water resources in Liaoning Province is between 0.6 and 0.9,which is in the transition stage from primary coordination to intermediate coordination.In 2020,all prefecture-level cities showed good coordination.The coupling coordination of water resources,society,economy,and ecology is in the order of economy>society>ecology>water resources.③ The water resources carrying capacity in Liaoning Province is mainly influenced by precipitation,sewage treatment rate,water resources volume,and the proportion of tertiary industry.In the future,we should improve water use efficiency,firmly establish the concept of green development,and realize the sustainable development of water resources.…”

Mitigation of Harmonics and Unbalanced Voltage Disturbance Compensation by MSVPWM Based- DVR in the Distribution Net by Haider Muhamad Husen

“…Pre-disturbance voltage compensation strategy and phase-locked-loop (PLL) based dq- space vector control are presented to improve a Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), which restore the magnitude of voltage disturbance and displacement of phase angle to prior of voltage disturbance. 3-phase Multilevel strategy of Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (MSVPWM) based- Multilevel Diode Clamped Converter (MDCC) is proposed as switching pulse signals employed low frequency, which creates high levels of voltage and fewer harmonics in the output waveform in comparison to 2-level SVPWM based- DVR. 3-level SVPWM based- DVR under balanced and imbalanced distortion voltage disturbances included sags and swells injected appreciated quantities of voltage, thereby attained ideal sinusoidal waveform with lower Total Harmonic Distortion THD% compared to 2-level SVPWM based- DVR. …”
