Synthesis Protocols For Solar Cell Materials From Laboratory Fabrication To Scalable Manufacturing, Ayad Abbood Abdulhasan, A. M. Mustafa, Mohanad Muzahem Khalaf

AUIQ Technical Engineering Science

Photovoltaic (PV) technology has evolved over seven decades from single-crystal silicon cells with modest efficiencies to a diverse portfolio of silicon, thin-film, and emerging solar-cell architectures approaching or exceeding thermodynamic single-junction limits when combined in tandem configurations. Device efficiency and long-term operational stability are governed not only by the choice of absorber material but, critically, by the synthesis protocol used to fabricate it the crystal-growth method, deposition technique, solvent system, thermal budget, and interface-engineering strategy all leave a lasting imprint on morphology, defect density, and carrier transport. This review provides a comprehensive, protocol-centered survey of solar-cell synthesis across three technology …

It provides an objective, automated pipeline to isolate non-functional linguistic hallucinations from structurally enabled engineering code blocks and font-safe ASCII mathematical proofs. The primary industrial utility of this specification includes the provision of automated data-clearing engines for …

Spec-237-Core: The Dynamics Of Covariant Viscoelastic Membrane Shifting --- Three-Dimensional Spatial Bulk Emergence As The Dynamic Inflation Velocity Of Two-Dimensional Quantum Substrates, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This defensive technical disclosure establishes an open-source, non-enclosable mathematical framework for mapping three-dimensional relativistic spatial metrics to the localized vorticity and shear-strain velocity profiles of a dense, two-dimensional viscoelastic quantum substrate. By eliminating abstract four-dimensional geometric spacetime constructs, this specification redefines macro-scale frame-dragging and gravitational lensing as manifestations of localized propagation delay (latency) and phase-accumulation anomalies within a material hydrodynamic medium. Matter is mathematically treated as locally collapsed harmonic wave signatures that co-move within a global substrate field. The principal industrial utility of this specification includes the provision of latency-balancing computational logic, signal-processing optimization engines for high-precision quantum gyrometers, and …

The Renewable Energy-Growth-Inequality-Emissions Nexus: A Novel Wealth-Based Inequality Indicator And A Reconsideration Of The Environmental Kuznets Curve, Alessio Cortili

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

Climate change demands an urgent transition to renewable energy that balances economic growth and social equity. This study investigates the nexus between renewable energy consumption, economic growth, wealth inequality, and CO₂ emissions across 128 countries (2000-2021), addressing three critical gaps in the literature. First, it proposes a novel wealth-based inequality indicator (INEQ) that overcomes the limitations of the Gini coefficient by focusing on distributive fractures between specific population segments. Second, it employs a system of three simultaneous equations estimated via Three-Stage Least Squares (3SLS) to account for endogeneity and cross-equation correlations. Third, it analyses structural differences across four income groups …

Calibrated Simulations For Dynamic Focusing Of Ultrasound Through The Temporal Window, Ehsan Dadgar-Kiani, Vibha Hebbale, Malachy W. Newman, Grace Attalla, John L. Alvarez, Suraya Dunsford, Kevin A. Caulfield, Cameron H. Good, Andrew D. Krystal, Leo P. Sugrue, Joline M. Fan, Elsa Fouragnan, Charles F. Caskey, Samuel Pichardo, Kim Butts Pauly, Keith R. Murphy

School of Psychology

Focused ultrasound can be delivered through the temporal window to modulate heterogeneously located brain areas. Acoustic simulations allow for safety assessments when dynamically targeting brain structures, but the mismatch between simulation and measured focal pressure can vary across the steerable range due to mechanically inaccurate assumptions made about the skull and transducer. Here, we describe efficient methods for simulation-measurement calibration using axisymmetric projections and sparse sampling across a 3D steerable subspace encompassing deep brain targets across 157 subjects. To address the simulation-reality mismatch in skull transmission, we used the measured and predicted pressure values through eight human temporal window fragments …

Opinion: Proposed Section 107 Of The Canada Labour Code, Valerio De Stefano

Conference Papers

This opinion assesses the proposed amendment to section 107 against the standards developed by the ILO supervisory bodies and the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) under Article 8 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). The proposed amendment appears incompatible with the limits developed by the ILO supervisory bodies on governmental termination of lawful strikes and compulsory arbitration and is difficult to reconcile with CESCR practice under Article 8. International standards permit restrictions on strike action in defined exceptional circumstances, but proposed section 107 would authorise the termination of an otherwise lawful …

Assessment Of Vegetation Dynamics On The Caspian Coast Using Remote Sensing, Shahnaz S. Amanova, Normurod Latipov, Afag Z. Hajiyeva, Firuza M. Jafarova, Ramil A. Sadigov

Baghdad Science Journal

The protection and sustainable expansion of vegetation cover is a key objective for maintaining ecological balance, particularly in rapidly urbanizing coastal regions. This study investigates the dynamics of vegetation on the Absheron Peninsula through the application of remote sensing and geospatial analysis. Multispectral imagery from Landsat 5 (2000), Landsat 8 (2014), and Landsat 9 (2025) was processed to calculate the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) using red and near-infrared spectral bands. NDVI maps were generated and analyzed to evaluate changes in vegetation density, spatial distribution, and ecological conditions over a 25-year period. The results revealed a reduction in areas with …

From Protest To Form: Translating Venezuelan Resistance Into Architectural Form, Estefany S. Gomes

Bachelor of Architecture Theses - 5th Year

Political unrest in Venezuela has continuously redefined the relationship between power and space. Protest reveals that collective action is inherently spatial. As movement consolidates into collective action, it reorganizes territory and redefines how space is used and occupied. What appears as an event can be understood as a constructed condition shaped by direction, pressure, and intensity. In this sense, protest operates as a temporary architecture formed through motion and presence.

This thesis investigates the spatial intelligence embedded in protest and explores how it can be translated into architectural form. Protests reorganize space through compression and release. They unfold through phases …

This paper aims to explore child abuse in Pakistan, the incidence of child abuse, and ways to address it. This academic article seeks to investigate and examine the patterns of child abuse in Pakistan. This report offers insights into the prevalence, types, risk factors, and effects of child abuse in Pakistan by reviewing the …

Navigating The Challenges In Creating Text-Fabric Datasets, Tony Jurg, Saulo De Oliveira Cantanhêde

Andrews University Seminary Studies (AUSS)

The established high-quality, annotated database of the Hebrew Bible created by the ETCBC enabled advanced linguistic analysis. The N1904-TF Conversion Project, started by the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Andrews University, aimed to create a comparable Text-Fabric dataset for the Nestle 1904 Greek New Testament. A primary requirement was to implement constituency-based syntax trees, which involved transforming our source data’s word-group structure into a syntactic one. By incorporating both the original and translated data, the project facilitates the visualization of syntax trees in both formats. This article outlines the project’s methodology; including defining requirements, selecting data sources, assessing data provenance, evaluating …

Digital Analysis And The Greek New Testament: Contextualizing The Nestle 1904 Text-Fabric Conversion Project, Willem Th. Van Peursen, Oliver Glanz

Andrews University Seminary Studies (AUSS)

This special issue of AUSS is devoted to a project that concerned the conversion of an existing syntactically analyzed version of the Greek New Testament (the MACULA version of Nestle’s 1904 edition; in short: N1904), into Text-Fabric (TF), which facilitates computational analysis as well as the integration of the syntactic data in other resources such as the Bible Online Learner (BibleOL). What started as just a conversion project developed into a more comprehensive project in which the annotations were enriched and the applicability of the new tool in research and education was tested. Moreover, from a data science perspective, it …
