Photovoltaic and Physical Characteristics of Screen-Printed Monocrystalline Silicon Solar Cells with Laser Doping and Electroplated Copper by Chin-Lung Cheng, Chi-Chung Liu, Chun-Tin Yeh

“…Finally, the EPC processes with various electroplating times were addressed. The results revealed that the mechanism of enhancements could be attributed to a continuous B-BSF seed layer and a reduction of series resistance, as well as an increase of open-circuit voltage and adhesion between the B-BSF seed layer and EPC contact layer.…”

Uncertainty, Reduced. A Discussion of Patrik Aspers’ Book by Tobias Werron

“…These expectations form social contexts that co-determine whether public knowledge is experienced as effectively reducing, producing or otherwise specifying uncertainty, and, in so doing, undermine any attempt to determine “objectively” whether we live in more or less uncertain times than earlier societies. Taking such complications into account would change the message of the book about uncertainty reduction and could help link it to other strands of uncertainty research.…”

Development of Pavement Distress Deterioration Prediction Models for Urban Road Network Using Genetic Programming by Tanuj Chopra, Manoranjan Parida, Naveen Kwatra, Palika Chopra

“…The two fitness functions have been used for the evaluation of the models, that is, coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error (RMSE), and it is inferred that GP models predict with high accuracy for pavement distress and help the decision makers for adequate and timely fund allocations for preservation of the urban road network.…”

Optimizing Poisson-Lindley Parameter Estimation: LQM and Reliability Analysis Applied to Guinea Pig Survival Data by Sameera Othman

“…Moreover, variance estimates for the known parameters and the related Kolmogorov–Smirnov (K–S) statistics, along with their corresponding p-values for the Poisson-Lindley Distribution (PLD), are analyzed using actual data on guinea pig survival times under various tubercle bacilli dosages. An observation indicating a strong fit with the optimal estimator with (LQM=4.190217) and the lowest MSE (78.71956) is made in light of the small K–S distance and the significant p-value for the test. …”

“It’s not what I saw, it’s not what I thought”: by Lindsey Dodd

“…(AHMED, 2014) While much influential scholarship is dedicated to top-down analyses French post-war memorial culture (mémoire), less attention is given to personal souvenirs of “ordinary” or “unimportant” people, particularly those who were children; such voices and the claims they make have at times been characterised as competitive and damaging to the “coherence of the national narrative” (WIEVIORKA, 2012). …”

Weimar Migrations: Katherine Anne Porter in Berlin by Joseph Kuhn

“…It is more appropriate to compare Porter’s work with that of a Weimar expatriate, Hannah Arendt, especially in their mutual emphasis on the thoughtlessness of evil; on the particular need for the exercise of the faculty of judgment in times of crisis; and on Saint Augustine’s concept of natality as a means for counteracting the existential despair of interwar Europe.…”
