Abstract: This paper proposes a new analysis method for photovoltaic (PV) modules. The main objectives are to obtain the resistance parameters of PV modules by adjusting I-V equation and voltage equation of diode and to find the relationship between resistance parameters and power. Firstly, values of serial resistance and parallel resistance at maximum power point are concluded. Secondly, the c...

Eiszler, C.F. (2002). College students' evaluations of teaching and grade inflation. Research in Higher Education, 43(4), 483-501. This study examined the relationship between grades and students’ composite ratings of teaching effectiveness over a 20-year period at a comprehensive, public university in the upper Midwest. Between the spring of 1980 and the fall of 1999, students in more than 37,...

The body of information in this paper is directed to specialists in industrial health and safety, and air and water pollution, who need quantitative data on the odor thresholds of potentially hazardous chemical vapors and gases. The literature, largely unorganized, has been reviewed for 214 compounds and condensed into tables based on consistent units. Data on the volatility, solubility, ioniza...

7.1 The measurement of changes in the level of consumer prices is complicated by the appearance and disappearance of new and old goods and services, as well as changes in the quality of existing ones. If there were no such complications, then a representative sample could be taken of the items households consume in period 0, their prices recorded and compared with the prices of the same matched...

This papers proposes techniques for writing self-adjusting programs that can adjust to any change to their data (e.g., inputs, decisions made during the computation) etc. We show that the techniques are efficient by considering a number of applications including several sorting algorithms, and the Graham Scan, and the quick hull algorithm for computing convex hulls. We show that the techniques ...

Self-adjusting computation is a paradigm for programming incremental computations that efficiently respond to input changes by updating the output in time proportional to the changes in the structure of the computation. This dissertation defends the thesis that high-level programming abstractions improve the experience of reading, writing, and reasoning about and the efficiency of self-adjustin...

This paper proposes and implements a statistical methodology for adjusting employment data for the effects of deviations in weather from seasonal norms. This is distinct from seasonal adjustment, which controls only for the normal variation in weather across the year. We simultaneously control for both of these effects by integrating a weather adjustment step in the seasonal adjustment process....
