This review gives a detailed summary and evaluation of the use of TiO2 doping to improve the performance of dye sensitized solar cells. Doping has a major effect on the band structure and trap states of TiO2, which in turn affect important properties such as the conduction band energy, charge transport, recombination and collection. The defect states of TiO2 are highly dependent on the synthesi...

The effect of impurity interactions on removal efficiency in metallurgical grade silicon (MG-Si) was studied and analyzed to provide a new idea for removing impurities from MG-Si. This paper provides theoretical support the nonmetallic P during purification preparation crystalline silicon. interaction between Al liquid were investigated by directional solidification. effects different pull-down...

A case study approach was used to explore the adoption of an RFID-based garment manufacturing information system in a garment factory in China. The findings indicate that both the technology push factors and need pull factors influence the intention of the garment factory to adopt RFID technology. Technology push factors include relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, extendibility, and ...

Interest in Blu-ray Discs is increasing rapidly due to the release of the PS3*1 and the increasing popularity of terrestrial digital broadcasting. The necessity of blue-violet laser diodes that can support even higher recording densities and speeds is becoming stronger day by day in proportion to this increasing interest. Although we had to clear many technological hurdles in moving to this hig...

The Workshop on Multi-modal Summarization for Trend information (MuST) has been encouraging researches on summarizing trends, which are an important first step of researches on technologies for supporting interactive and explorative information utilization. While MuST in the previous cycles provided the participants with a framework for encouraging researches by sharing the same research resour...

The aim of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of innovative programmes in construction. The term 'best practice' is commonly used in industry in to describe and disseminate cases where high levels of performance have been achieved. Several terminologies are used to describe this phenomenon, the best practice being the most widely used term. Best practices usually stimulate a desire in o...

The objectives of this study were to determine the mechanical work, the power output, and the angular kinematics of the lower limb and the linear kinematics of the barbell during the first and second pulls in the snatch lift event of the 2010 Women's World Weightlifting Championship, an Olympic qualifying competition, and to compare the snatch performances of the women weightlifters to those re...
