  • Individual solar cells must be connected together to give the appropriate current and voltage levels and they must also be protected from damage by the environment. [1] PV module consists of a glass/ polymer encapsulation/ solar cell string/ polymer encapsulation/ back sheet. Usually, encapsulation materials is used EVA(ethylene vinyl acetate), PVB(polyvinyl butyral), PO(polyolefin)sheet. This study is about fabrication of module using silicone material instead of above them. We got to know advantage that is fabrication time and efficiency of modules.

  • The scalp is the thickest skin in the body and protects the intracranial structures. The coverage of a large scalp defect is a difficult surgical procedure, the full details of which must be considered prior to the procedure, such as defect size and depth, and various factors related to the patient's general condition. Although a free flap is the recommended surgical procedure to cover large scalp defects, it is a high-risk operation that is not appropriate for all patients. As such, other surgical options must be explored. We present the case of a patient with an ulcer on the scalp after wide excision and split-thickness skin graft for squamous cell cancer. We successfully performed a reverse temporalis muscle flap for this patient.

  • The present study was designed to determine how the phytochemical genistein activates caspase-3 to cause cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. When human ovarian cancer SK-OV-3 cells were treated with $200\;{\mu}M$ genistein for 24 hr, cell growth decreased significantly (p<0.05). Conversely, genistein treatment significantly increased cytotoxicity (measured as lactate dehydrogenase release) under the same conditions (p<0.05). To elucidate the mechanism behind the induction of apoptosis by genistein, we studied the cell cycle and caspase-3 activation. When cells were treated with genistein, the population of cells in sub-G1 phase increased by 44.2% compared to untreated cells. Genistein caused decrease in precursor caspase-3, increase in cleaved caspase-3 and a significant increase in caspase-3 activity (p<0.05). Therefore, genistein may induce apoptosis via caspase-3 activation. However, high-dose genistein treatment must be viewed with caution because of its potential cytotoxicity.

  • Since the residential load is an AC load and the output of solar cell is DC power, the photovoltaic system needs the DC/AC converter to utilize solar cell. In case of driving to interact with utility line, in order to operate at unity power factor, converter must provide the sinusoidal wave current and voltage with same phase of utility line. Since output of solar cell is greatly fluctuated by insolation, it is necessary that the operation of solar cell output in the range of the vicinity of maximum power point. In this paper, DC/AC converter is three phase PWM converter with smoothing reactor. And then, feed-forward control used to obtain a superior characteristic for current control and digital PLL circuit used to detect the phase of utility line.

  • The optimal conditions for operating a moving-aeration bioreactor were determined as 30rpm and 150 (ml/min) of air flow rate, which can yield ca. 7.3 (l/h)of maximum mass transfer coefficient. It was also found that the agitation speed played much much important role than air input rate in oxgen transfer into the medium. $2.6{\times}10^6$ (cells/ml) and 0.6 (ml/l) of maximum cell denisty and IL-2 production were observed in batch cultivation of IL-2 producing BHK cell line. 0.53 (mM/l/h) of oxygen uptake rate was also estimated. The performance of a moving-aeration bioreactor (specific growth rate and oxygen uptake rate, etc.) was superior to other culture systems, such as cell-life and static membrane aeration bioreactors. Ii must be useful to apply this reactor to many culture processes by improving structural limitations in scaling-up the system.

  • The assignment of cells to reporting or non-reporting cells is an NP-hard problem having an exponential complexity in the Reporting Cell Location Management (RCLM) system. Frequent location update may result in degradation of quality of service due to interference. Miss on the location of a mobile terminal will necessitate a search operation on the network when a call comes in. The number of reporting cells and which cell must be reporting cell should be determined to balance the registration (location update) and search (paging) operations to minimize the cost of RCLM system. T1is paper compares Max-Min ant system (MMAS), rank-based ant system (RAS) and hybrid method of MMAS and RAS that generally used to solve combinatorial optimization problems. Experimental results demonstrate that hybrid method of MMAS and RAS is an effective and competitive approach in fairly satisfactory results with respect to solution quality and execution time for the optimal design of location management system.

  • This paper describes the types of models that biology majors use and how they go about making their models in learning key concepts in biology such as the cell membrane, cytoskeleton and cell structure. Initially, a total of 44 biology students from all year levels enrolled in the second semester of calendar year 2008-2009 were asked to make their respective models of the cell membrane, cytoskeleton and cell structure. They were also asked to answer an open-ended questionnaire. Of the 44, only 20 (five from each year level) were randomly selected for a one-on-one interview. Results showed that the student-generated models from all year levels were mostly analogies, some textbook definitions and occasional drawings. In making their model, students first read the text; second, outline similarities in structure and function or both; and third, make the model. Data suggest that models are good diagnostic tools for identifying critical thinking skills of students. In this case, students mostly demonstrate the ability to recognize similarities in structure and function between the concept and their model. Some senior students demonstrated integration and reflective thinking in making their models. Thus, more opportunities for student-generated models must be available if students were to develop integration and reflective thinking in their models.

  • Photonic crystal solar cells have the potential for addressing the disparate length scales in polymer photovoltaic materials, thereby confronting the major challenge in solar cell technology: efficiency. One must achieve simultaneously an efficient absorption of photons with effective carrier extraction. Unfortunately the two processes have opposing requirements. Efficient absorption of light calls for thicker PV active layers whereas carrier transport always benefits from thinner ones, and this dichotomy is at the heart of an efficiency/cost conundrum that has kept solar energy expensive relative to fossil fuels. This dichotomy persists over the entire solar spectrum but increasingly so near a semiconductor's band edge where absorption is weak. We report a 2-D, photonic crystal morphology that enhances the efficiency of organic photovoltaic cells relative to conventional planar cells. The morphology is developed by patterning an organic photoactive bulk heterojunction blend of Poly(3-(2-methyl-2-hexylcarboxylate) thiophene-co-thiophene) and PCBM via PRINT, a nano-embossing method that lends itself to large area fabrication of nanostructures. The photonic crystal cell morphology increases photocurrents generally, and particularly through the excitation of resonant modes near the band edge of the organic PV material. The device performance of the photonic crystal cell showed a nearly doubled increase in efficiency relative to conventional planar cell designs. Photonic crystals can also enhance performance of other optoelectronic devices including organic laser.

  • An input-output buffering switch operates in either of tow different cell loss modes; Backpressure mode and Queueloss mode. In the previous studies, the Backpressrue mode is more effective at low traffic loads, and the Queueloss mode performs better at high traffic. We propose a new operation mode, called Hybrid mode, which adopts the advantages of he Backpressure and the Queueloss mode. Backpressure and Queueloss modes are distinguished from whether a cell loss occurs at the output buffer or not when output buffer overflows, irrespective of input buffer status. In order to simply combine Backpressure and Queueloss mode, the change of input traffic load must be measured. However, in the Hybrid mode, simply both of the input and output buffer overflow and checked out to determine the cell discard. The performance of the Hybrid mode is compared with those of the Backpressure and the Queueloss mode under random and bursty traffic. This paper show that the Hybrid mode always gives the best performance results for most ranges of load values.
