Alleviating hysteresis and improving device stability of perovskite solar cells via alternate voltage sweeps

The anomalous hysteresis in a perovskite solar cell induced by an asymmetric field is confirmed by a capacitance–voltage measurement. By applying several cycles of alternating reverse and forward scans, this hysteresis phenomenon is obviously alleviated, resulting in a hysteresis-less state in the perovskite solar cell. Meanwhile, the open-circuit voltage and power conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell are enhanced by 55.74% and 61.30%, respectively, while the current density and fill factor keep almost invariable. The operation of alleviating hysteresis is essential for further research and is likely to bring in performance gains.

Second-order phase correction of NMR spectra acquired using linear frequency-sweeps

NMR spectra acquired with experiments using frequency-sweeps such as the wide-band uniform-rate smooth truncation(WURST)spin-echo and Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill(CPMG)sequences cannot be absorptively phased by using only conventional zerothand first-order phase correction.Implementation of phase correction up to the secondorder is described for obtaining absorptive spectra,which have more desirable line shapes and noise properties than magnitude spectra.The relationship of the second-order phase to the parameters of frequency sweeps is derived.The second-order phasing in the frequency-domain is equivalent to a point spread in the time-domain signal.The application of second-order phase correction is demonstrated with a wideline 35Cl CPMG spikelet spectrum.

A new broom sweeps clean:is there a Chinese-style political business cycle?

Politics is an important cause of economic growth and fluctuations.We present a new Political Business Cycle(PBC)Theory based on the background of recent Chinese economic transformation and government behaviors,explore the economic impact of the National Congress of the Communist Party of China(CPC),the National People’s Congress(NPC)and Chinese People’s Political Consultive Conference(CPPCC)and how they shape and influence the behaviors of local government officials.Based on 1994-2012 inter-provincial panel data of China and using SYS-GMM and LSDVC,we find that there are significant effects in China of PBC and government administration change.Changes in government administration influence the economic behaviors of local governments,which in turn influence local economic development through fiscal decentralization and political promotion tournament.These effects are sustained and robust.In this paper we offer an economic explanation for the Chinese proverb“a new broom sweeps clean,”and try to verify the Chinese-style Political Business Cycle(CPBC).We provide new ideas for further improving the functions of government,optimizing macroeconomic control,and preventing personnel changes in the government from overheating the economy.

Optimizing Parallel S_n Sweeps on Unstructured Grids for Multi-Core Clusters

In particle transport simulations, radiation effects are olden described by the discrete ordinates （Sn） form of Boltzmann equation. In each ordinate direction, the solution is computed by sweeping the radiation flux across the grid. Parallel Sn sweep on an unstructured grid can be explicitly modeled as topological traversal through an equivalent directed acyclic graph （DAG）, which is a data-driven algorithm. Its traditional design using MPI model results in irregular communication of massive short messages which cannot be efficiently handled by MPI runtime. Meanwhile, in high-end HPC cluster systems, multicore has become the standard processor configuration of a single node. The traditional data-driven algorithm of Sn sweeps has not exploited potential advantages of multi-threading of multicore on shared memory. These advantages, however, as we shall demonstrate, could provide an elegant solution resolving problems in the previous MPI-only design. In this paper, we give a new design of data-driven parallel Sn sweeps using hybrid MPI and Pthread programming, namely Sweep-H, to exploit hierarchical parallelism of processes and threads. With special multi-threading techniques and vertex schedule policy, Sweep-H gets more efficient communication and better load balance. We further present an analytical performance model for Sweep-H to reveal why and when it is advantageous over former MPI counterpart. On a 64-node multicore cluster system with 12 cores per node, 768 cores in total, Sweep-H achieves nearly linear scalability for moderate problem sizes, and better absolute performance than the previous times speedup on 64 nodes）. MPI algorithm on more than 16 nodes （by up to two

Scanning for Genomic Regions Subject to Selective Sweeps Using SNP-MaP Strategy

Population genomic approaches, which take advantages of high-throughput genotyping, are powerful yet costly methods to scan for selective sweeps. DNA-pooling strategies have been widely used for association studies because it is a cost-effective alternative to large-scale individual genotyping. Here, we performed an SNP-MaP （single nucleotide polymorphism microarrays and pooling） analysis using samples from Eurasia to evaluate the efficiency of pooling strategy in genome-wide scans for selection. By conducting simulations of allelotype data, we first demonstrated that the boxplot with average heterozygosity （HET） is a promising method to detect strong selective sweeps with a moderate level of pooling error. Based on this, we used a sliding window analysis of HET to detect the large contiguous regions （LCRs） putatively under selective sweeps from Eurasia datasets. This survey identified 63 LCRs in a European population. These signals were further supported by the integrated haplotype score （iHS） test using HapMap II data. We also confirmed the European-specific signatures of positive selection from several previously identified genes （KEL, TRPV5, TRPV6, EPHB6）. In summary, our results not only revealed the high credibility of SNP-MaP strategy in scanning for selective sweeps, but also provided an insight into the population differentiation.

Identification of new cotton fiber-quality QTL by multiple genomic analyses and development of markers for genomic breeding

Cotton fiber is one of the main raw materials for the textile industry.In recent years,many cotton fiber quality QTL have been identified,but few were applied in breeding.In this study,a genome wide association study(GWAS)of fiber-quality traits in 265 upland cotton breeding intermediate lines(GhBreeding),combined with genome-wide selective sweep analysis(GSSA)and genomic selection(GS),revealed 25 QTL.Most of these QTL were ignored by only using GWAS.The CRISPR/Cas9 mutants of GhMYB_D13 had shorter fiber,which indicates the credibility of QTL to a certain extent.Then these QTL were verified in other cotton natural populations,5 stable QTL were found having broad potential for application in breeding.Additionally,among these 5 stable QTL,superior genotypes of 4 showed an enrichment in most improved new varieties widely cultivated currently.These findings provide insights for how to identify more QTL through combined multiple genomic analysis to apply in breeding.

An adaptive finite-difference method for seismic traveltime modeling based on 3D eikonal equation

3D eikonal equation is a partial differential equation for the calculation of first-arrival traveltimes and has been widely applied in many scopes such as ray tracing,source localization,reflection migration,seismic monitoring and tomographic imaging.In recent years,many advanced methods have been developed to solve the 3D eikonal equation in heterogeneous media.However,there are still challenges for the stable and accurate calculation of first-arrival traveltimes in 3D strongly inhomogeneous media.In this paper,we propose an adaptive finite-difference(AFD)method to numerically solve the 3D eikonal equation.The novel method makes full use of the advantages of different local operators characterizing different seismic wave types to calculate factors and traveltimes,and then the most accurate factor and traveltime are adaptively selected for the convergent updating based on the Fermat principle.Combined with global fast sweeping describing seismic waves propagating along eight directions in 3D media,our novel method can achieve the robust calculation of first-arrival traveltimes with high precision at grid points either near source point or far away from source point even in a velocity model with large and sharp contrasts.Several numerical examples show the good performance of the AFD method,which will be beneficial to many scientific applications.

Sparse-Grid Implementation of Fixed-Point Fast Sweeping WENO Schemes for Eikonal Equations

Fixed-point fast sweeping methods are a class of explicit iterative methods developed in the literature to efficiently solve steady-state solutions of hyperbolic partial differential equations(PDEs).As other types of fast sweeping schemes,fixed-point fast sweeping methods use the Gauss-Seidel iterations and alternating sweeping strategy to cover characteristics of hyperbolic PDEs in a certain direction simultaneously in each sweeping order.The resulting iterative schemes have a fast convergence rate to steady-state solutions.Moreover,an advantage of fixed-point fast sweeping methods over other types of fast sweeping methods is that they are explicit and do not involve the inverse operation of any nonlinear local system.Hence,they are robust and flexible,and have been combined with high-order accurate weighted essentially non-oscillatory(WENO)schemes to solve various hyperbolic PDEs in the literature.For multidimensional nonlinear problems,high-order fixed-point fast sweeping WENO methods still require quite a large amount of computational costs.In this technical note,we apply sparse-grid techniques,an effective approximation tool for multidimensional problems,to fixed-point fast sweeping WENO methods for reducing their computational costs.Here,we focus on fixed-point fast sweeping WENO schemes with third-order accuracy(Zhang et al.2006[41]),for solving Eikonal equations,an important class of static Hamilton-Jacobi(H-J)equations.Numerical experiments on solving multidimensional Eikonal equations and a more general static H-J equation are performed to show that the sparse-grid computations of the fixed-point fast sweeping WENO schemes achieve large savings of CPU times on refined meshes,and at the same time maintain comparable accuracy and resolution with those on corresponding regular single grids.

Quantitative Description of the Effects of Sweep Efficiency and Displacement Efficiency during Chemical Flooding on a Heterogeneous Reservoir

The processes of flooding—water flooding, polymer flooding and ternary combination flooding—were simulated respectively on a 2-D positive rhythm profile geological model by using the ASP numerical modeling software developed by RIPED (Yuan, et al. 1995). The recovery coefficient, remaining oil saturation, sweep efficiency and displacement efficiency were calculated and correlated layer by layer. The results show that the sweep efficiency and displacement efficiency work different effects on different layers in the severely heterogeneous reservoir. The study shows that the displacement efficiency and sweep efficiency play different roles in different layers for severely heterogeneous reservoirs. The displacement efficiency contributes mainly to the high permeability zones, the sweep efficiency to the low permeability zones, both of which contribute to the middle permeable zones. To improve the sweep efficiency in the low permeability zones is of significance for enhancing the whole recovery of the reservoir. It is an important path for improving the effectiveness of chemical flooding in the severely heterogeneous reservoirs to inject ternary combination slug after profile control.
