The concentration of iodide (I(-)) and pertechnetate (TcO(4) (-)) and bromide (Br(-)) has been measured simultaneously in gastric juice and parotid saliva. The combined gastric and salivary clearance for iodide and pertechnetate is more than twice the clearance of these ions by the thyroid gland. The concentration of the ions was in the order I(-)>TcO(4) (-)>Br(-) in both gastric juice and sali...

the current paper was to investigate the relationship between distributed leadership, organizational commitment and job satisfaction with regards to the meditating role of sense of efficacy. it is based on a quantitative method of research and middle schools teachers of tehran was the research population from which 160 teachers were selected based on cluster sampling method. data was collected ...

An unusual processing scheme has been developed for preparing single-phase cadmium stannate (Cd2SnO4 or CTO) films. Cd2SnO4 transparent conducting oxide (TCO) films have several significant advantages over conventional TCOs when applied to CdS/CdTe thin-film devices. They are more conductive, more transparent, have lower surface roughness, are patternable, and are exceptionally stable. Cd2SnO4-...

We compared the high-end Intel Xeon processor X5570 (2.93 GHz) with the low-end Intel® Xeon® processor E5504 (2.0 GHz) for two Intel IT computing environments: design and enterprise. In real-world application testing with Intel’s electronic design automation (EDA) workloads, two-socket servers based on the 2.93GHz processor delivered the same performance for an estimated 42 percent lower TCO ov...

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) remains a significant factor that influences Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) strategies and decisions. While “total” costs can and should include a wide range of factors, recent Aberdeen research has shown that the cost of software, services, and maintenance are those which are most often measured and considered when evaluating software or measuring the Return o...

Recently, it was demonstrated that the insertion of TCO layers between the compound cells of tandem cells allows a shift of current generation from the bottom to the top cell [1]. This concept is particularly useful to increase the performance of a-Si:H/μc-Si:H tandem cells. In this paper we analyse experimental and optical modelling results of very different tandem cell structures in order to ...

The influence of the transparent conducting oxide (TCO) topography was studied on the performance of a silicon oxide intermediate reflector layer (IRL) in a-Si/μc-Si tandem cells, both experimentally and by 3-D optical simulations. Therefore, cells with varying IRL thickness were deposited on three different types of TCOs. Clear differences were observed regarding the performance of the IRL as ...
