We present ultra-thin (6 to 31 nm) undoped amorphous silicon/organic hybrid solar cell structure, which can transmit desired color of light. The transmitted colors show great angular tolerance due to the negligible optical phase associated with light propagating in ultra-thin amorphous silicon (a-Si) layers. We achieved the power conversion efficiency of the hybrid cells up to 2 %; and demonstr...

The Sedum L. genus is extensively represented in the Tolstiaceae family, (more than 600 species). Diversity market of species makes Sedums popular and promising landscape gardening, urban interior gardening. In indoor floriculture, there are more 20 sedums, which herbaceous, succulent semi-shrubs that can be either single or perennials. Decorative effect given to plant primarily by decorative l...

Moderate levels of dioctyl phthalate, hydrogen chloride and carbon monoxide are features of ambient air in production of linoleum, polyvinylchloride decorative filv and in other modern plastic materials production shops. The workers were diagnosed as having latent signs of neurotoxicity--vegetative dysfunction with prevalent parasympathetic tone and inactive polyneuropathy shown by electroneuro...

In this paper we propose a classification and systematic description structure based on the pattern paradigm for interaction scripts in Second Life that aim at facilitating knowledge sharing and knowledge integration in groups. We present eight examples of such interactions, a description structure to formalize them, and classify them into four classes according to their design scope and added ...

The frequency of Bromeliaceae and other plant breeding places where Aedes aegypti can be found is reported during two consecutive operational cycles (focal treatment) in the city of Rio de Janeiro. These cycles took place from November 12 2000 to March 9 2001 and from March 12 2001 to June 15 2001. This study concentrates on the epidemiological implications resulting from the growing use of the...

Architectural Description Languages (ADLs) fall into the narrow category of frequently using only one fixed representation scheme. Over the past years, it has become more obvious that no single such ADL is adequate in addressing a large number of stakeholder concerns. This paper, therefore, discusses the need and challenges of multi-view development with ADLs and introduces a decorative stance ...

The history of the production of glass paperweights is obscure as is the history of glass making, the latter being traceable back to the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries B.C. Though the idea of the glass paperweight originated in Venice the main decorative element, the millefiori cane, which ensured its popularity, was Egyptian in origin. The first glass paperweights contained ceramic figures...
