Diffusion-free Back Contact Solar Cells On S-passivated Si(100) Substrates
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2008-04-22)
A diffusion-free back contact solar cell is proposed in this work. The textured front-side of this cell is coated with ~100 nm thermal SiO2 to enhance the light trapping meanwhile reduce the surface recombination velocity ...
Design And Functionality Analysis Of Operational Amplifiers With Rail-to-rail Input And Output Capability
(Electrical Engineering, 2008-04-22)
The operational amplifier (op amp) is a fundamental building block in analog integrated circuit design. For low power-supply voltages, the common-mode input voltage and the output voltage of op amps are always required to ...
Computational Analysis Of Variability Of Recombination In Mice
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Rapid advances in engineering and technology have fueled research in areas such as molecular biology and genetics to a new level and thus have given birth to multidisciplinary fields like bioinformatics and computational ...
Stochastic Models For In-silico Event-based Biological Network Simulation
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2008-04-22)
The multi-scale biological system model is a new research direction to capture the dynamic measurements of complex
biological systems. The current statistical thermodynamic models can not scale to this challenge due to the ...
Decision And Control In Distributed Cooperative Systems
(Electrical Engineering, 2008-09-17)
This dissertation presents novel matrix-based approaches for decision and control in distributed cooperative systems such as wireless sensor networks. A novel matrix-based Discrete Event Controller has been implemented for ...
Is Secession A Recipe For Political Instability?
(Political Science, 2008-04-22)
In the last century, the world has seen the rise and fall of empires, two world wars, and the subsequent creation of new states. Very little attention has been paid to how well these seceded states fared at self-governance. ...
Multi-objective Evaluation Of Dynamic Facility Layout Using Ant Colony Optimization
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2008-04-22)
The Dynamic Facility Layout Problem (DFLP) deals with changes of facility layout throughout time. As an extension to Static Facility Layout Problem (SFLP), it has gathered increasing interests lately. Facility layouts are ...
A Sticky Situation: Functional Responses Of Mast Cells To Acidic pH
(Biology, 2008-04-22)
Precise regulation of extracellular pH is critical for proper function of many cellular activities. Minor fluctuations in pH can have profound effects on ion transport, receptor function, and cellular secretions. This work ...
CXLEngine - A Comprehensive XML Loosely Structured Search Engine
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2008-04-22)
XML keyword search has been a widely researched area. [15] has proposed an XML semantic search engine called OOXSearch, which answers loosely structured queries. The framework of OOXSearch takes into account the semantic ...
The Evolution Of Problem Solving: An Assessment Of Preference In Concurrent Schedules Of Reinforcement
(Psychology, 2008-09-17)
In personal problem-solving, an organism emits responses that have been useful in the past to alter its personal contingencies and produce a response that "solves" a problem. In verbal behavior, a human organism emits ...
