This paper includes an overview of general approaches and efforts to enhance the power conversion efficiency in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) and then the recent development of hierarchically structured photoelectrodes for DSC. Hierarchically structured photoelectrodes are made of submicron-sized aggregates of ZnO nanocrystallites. Such structured photoelectrodes retain the desired large sur...

Dual scattering channel (DSC) schemes generalize Johns’ TLM algorithm in replacing transmission lines with abstract scattering channels in terms of paired distributions. A well known merit of TLM schemes is unconditional stability, a property generally drawn upon passivity of linear transmission line networks. So the question arises, if DSC algorithms remain stable in a neat sense. It is shown ...

A class of high-order lowpass filters, the discrete singular convolution (DSC) filters, is utilized to facilitate the Fourier pseudospectral method for the solution of hyperbolic conservation law systems. The DSC filters are implemented directly in the Fourier domain (i.e., windowed Fourier pseudospectral method), while a physical domain algorithm is also given to enable the treatment of some s...

Thermal analysis (DSC: Differential Scanning Calorimetry and TGA: Thermogravimetric Analysis) of SEBS blends have been studied in this paper. SEBS blends were made using two transparent SEBS commercial grades with extreme hardness values. The first thermal property determined in SEBS blends was the evaluation of the thermal degradation at high temperatures (DSC). Another thermal property of the...

Introduction Dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MR perfusion is based on the indicator dilution theorem for non-diffusible tracers.[1,2] A common misconception is that tracer recirculation cannot occur in order to make use of the underlying theory (i.e., analysis of the tracer kinetics must be “firstpass”).[3-13] As a result, there have been a number of approaches suggested for removing trac...

The improved yield strength of annealed dispersionstrengthened copper (DSC) over conventional OFE copper makes it a possible candidate for use in extremely high potential gradient particle accelerator structures where stability is of critical importance. Test brazes of such structures show that the surface of DSC is not readily wetted by conventional goldbased braze alloys used for copper. Surf...
