Less absorbed solar energy and more internal heat for Jupiter

Photovoltaics: More solar cells for less.

Control over Power Conversion Efficiency of BHJ Solar Cells: Learn more from Less, with Artificial Intelligence

Harvesting the energy from the sun through the bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells need materials with specific electronic characteristics. However, any promising material if cast improperly in cells will end into low or even null power conversion efficiency (PCE). Cell casting optimization is a time/material consumable step in any photovoltaic manufacturing practice. In this study, we sh...

Radiofrequency energy delivery for pulmonary vein isolation: is less more?

As catheter ablation to eliminate atrial fibrillation (AF) has evolved, new catheter technologies have become available to increase lesion size and improve safety. Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation was first performed with radiofrequency energy using a 4 mm tip electrode. Subsequently, 8–10 mm tip electrodes and irrigated-tip catheters became available. The premise of these systems is that as the c...

Industrial Process Heat Applications of Solar Energy

Concentrating solar collectors of low concentration ratio can supply hot water or process heat at intermediate temperatures, i.e. 80 to 180 C, where flat plate collectors are not effective, and for which there are a number of industrial, domestic and rural applications. This paper studies the potential applications of this technology and presents case studies to prove its feasibility.

More for Less - Getting More Clients by Broadcasting Less Data

Broadcasting is scalable in terms of served users but not in terms of served data volume. Additionally, waiting time deadlines may be difficult to uphold due to the data clutter, forcing the clients to flee the system. This work proposes a way of selecting subsets of the original data that ensure near-optimal service ratio. The proposed technique relies on the novel data compatibility distance,...
