Effects of Climatic Conditions and Agronomic Practices on Health, Tuber Yield, and Mineral Composition of Two Contrasting Potato Varieties Developed for High and Low Input Producti... by Gultekin Hasanaliyeva, Ourania Giannakopoulou, Juan Wang, Marcin Barański, Enas Khalid Sufar, Daryl Knutt, Jenny Gilroy, Peter Shotton, Halima Leifert, Dominika Średnicka-Tober, Ismail Cakmak, Levent Ozturk, Bingqiang Zhao, Per Ole Iversen, Nikolaos Volakakis, Paul Bilsborrow, Carlo Leifert, Leonidas Rempelos

“…Modern potato varieties from high-input, conventional farming-focused breeding programs produce substantially (up to 45%) lower yields when grown in organic production systems, and this was shown to be primarily due to less efficient fertilization and late blight (<i>Phytophthora infestans</i>) control methods being used in organic farming. …”

Expanding Thermal Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition of ZnO:Al Layers for CIGS Solar Cells by K. Sharma, B. L. Williams, A. Mittal, H. C. M. Knoops, B. J. Kniknie, N. J. Bakker, W. M. M. Kessels, R. E. I. Schropp, M. Creatore

“…In this paper, the potential of adopting ETP-CVD ZnO:Al in CIGS solar cells is assessed: the effect of substrate temperature during film deposition on both the electrical properties of the ZnO:Al and the eventual performance of the CIGS solar cells was investigated. For ZnO:Al films grown using the high thermal budget (HTB) condition, lower resistivities, ρ, were achievable (~5 × 10−4 Ω·cm) than those grown using the low thermal budget (LTB) conditions (~2 × 10−3 Ω·cm), whereas higher CIGS conversion efficiencies were obtained for the LTB condition (up to 10.9%) than for the HTB condition (up to 9.0%). …”
