It is found that the HP glass substrate has good antireflection properties. Its surface reflectance can be reduced by - 50% compared with planar glass. The HP arrays can make the unabsorbed light return to the absorbing layer of solar cells, and the ratio of second absorption approximately equals 30%. Thus, the glass substrate with the hemisphere pit arrays (HP glass) can effectively reduce the total reflectivity of a solar celt from 20% to 13%. The lip glass can also prolong the optical path length. The numerical results show that the total optical path length of the thin film Si solar cell covered with the HP glass increases from 2ω to 409. These results are basically consistent with the experimental results.展开更多

In human cells submitted to oxidative stress the telomeres length decrease, the expression of progerin and the activity of mTOR are increased. At our knowledge, there is no published data on Cps correlated with ultraviolet radiation (UV) and blue light effects in human cells regarding telomeres’ length, progerin expression or mTOR1 complex activity. Objectives: In this study, we sought to assess 1) telomeres’ length in newborn human fibroblasts exposed to UV and blue light;2) progerin production in mature human normal fibroblasts exposed to UV;3) mTOR1 activation in adult human normal keratinocytes exposed to UV, analyzing the activity of a Cyanobacteria phycocyanin (Cp) in these in vitro models. Materials and Methods: Human skin fibroblasts or human normal keratinocytes were cultured—in the absence or in the presence of Cp and submitted to UVB + UVA and blue light irradiations. Telomeres’ length, progerin expression and mTOR1 activity were then assessed by molecular biology and immuno-enzymatic methods. Results: In cultured fibroblasts exposed to irradiations and treated by Cp, telomeres’ shortage and progerin expression were lower compared to irradiated untreated cells. In cultured keratinocytes treated by Cp and exposed to irradiations, the mTOR activity was lower compared to irradiated untreated cells. Conclusions: In these in vitro studies on human skin fibroblasts and on normal human keratinocytes, the cyanobacteria phycocyanin (Cp) showed a decrease of damages induced by UV and blue light expressed by telomeres preservation and downregulation of progerin expression and of mTOR activity, thus showing skin anti-aging and photo-protective potential.展开更多

It increases with the increase of the quantity of carrier in the base of the solar cell. The carrier density in the base of the solar cell increases with the increase of the flux of photons that crosses the solar cell. One of the methods used to increase the flux of photon on the illuminated side of the solar cell is the intensification of the illumination light. However, the intensification of the light come with the increase of the energy released by thermalization, the collision between carriers, their braking due to the carriers concentration gradient electric field which lead to increase the temperature in the base of the solar cell. This work presents a 3-D study, of the effect of the temperature on the electronic parameters of a polycrystalline silicon solar under intense light illumination. The electronic parameters on which we analyze the temperature effect are:?the mobility of solar cell carriers?(electrons and holes),?their diffusion coefficient, their diffusion length and their distribution in the bulk of the base. To study the effect of the temperature on electronic parameters, we take into account, the dependence of carriers (electrons and holes) mobility with the temperature (μn,(T)?μp(T)). Then, the resolution of the continuity equation,which is a function of the carriers gradient electric field and the carriers mobility,?leads to the expressions of?the diffusion coefficient, the diffusion length, and the density of carriers which are function of the temperature. Then, we studied the effects of the temperature on the diffusion parameters in order to explain their effect on the behavior the carriers distribution in intermediate, short circuit and open circuit operating modes at several positions in the base depth. It appears through this study that the diffusion coefficient and the diffusion length decrease with the increase of the temperature. We observe also that with the increase of the temperature, the density of carriers in the base of the solar cell in short circuit and open voltage operating modes increases. In intermediate operating mode, the density of carriers increases also with the temperature but it is function of the base depth.展开更多

The definition fails to identify which second is required, whether to use coordinate or proper time, or which method to construct an exact meter, besides ignoring gravity’s effect. In Einstein’s 1905 paper that defined special relativity, Einstein stipulated correctly that light traversing the ends of a resting rod takes equal time transmissions in either direction. If that rod is oriented parallel to a constant velocity, a photon from one end of the moving rod takes a longer time span with a universal constant light speed to overtake the receding end and takes a shorter time span to intercept the approaching end of the rod when transmitted in the opposite direction, resulting in a longer roundtrip distance of photons traversing the moving rod versus the resting rod. Length contraction undercompensates this difference. Einstein did not address this issue. However, Einstein claimed the unequal time intervals over the moving rod versus equal intervals over the resting rod are because simultaneous states for the resting observer and resting rod are nonsimultaneous for the constant moving observer. This contradicts his first postulate of relativity: any state of a physical system (e.g., equal timed traverses of photons moving over a rod) is unaffected by a constant translational velocity between inertial reference frames. An in-depth analysis examines Einstein’s thought experiment for an adequate redefinition. The analysis reveals one-way photon velocities obey vector velocity addition involving moving photon sources, but it proves by induction that roundtrip photon traverses have an average speed that is identical to the standard light speed c. Thus, Einstein’s second postulate of relativity is not general, but is valid for roundtrip traverses of photon transmissions. This may change many physical concepts, since one-way velocities for photons and particles are not limited by the second postulate. A suggested redefinition of the meter is submitted.展开更多
