In this paper, we describe relationships between the morphologies and the power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of perovskite photovoltaics having a conventional p-i-n heterojunction structure, indium tin oxide (ITO)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS)/CH(3)NH(3)PbI(3-x)Cl(x)/PC(61)BM/Al. The PCE of such a device is highly dependent on the morphology of the perovskit...

Imperial China employed a civil examination system to select scholar bureaucrats as ruling elites. This institution dissuaded high-performing individuals from pursuing some modernization activities, such as establishing modern firms or studying overseas. This study uses prefecture-level panel data from 1896-1910 to compare the effects of the chance of passing the civil examination on modernizat...

The white-rot fungus Pycnoporus sanguineus produces laccase under a range of C/N ratios in submerged liquid culture. Enzyme production was increased 50 fold in the presence of 20 FM xylidine to a maximum of 1368 U L-I in a high carbon low nitrogen medium. Slight repression of enzyme production was observed in high nitrogen culture medium. Other potential inducers were less effective (Tween 80, ...

In this paper we describe briefly a set of procedures for the optimal design of full mission aerospace systems. This involves multiphysics simulations at various fidelity levels, surrogates, distributed computing and multiobjective optimization. Low-fidelity analysis is used to populate a database of inputs and outputs of the system simulation and Neural Networks are then designed to generate i...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence and type of dysesthesia around the incision used to obtain the patellar tendon for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. METHODS Out of a population of 1368 ACL reconstructions using the central third of the patellar tendon, 102 patients (111 knees) were evaluated by means of telephone interview. RESULTS The mean follow-up was 52 month...

Sir: During screening for antioxidative substances, which are expected to be useful for chemotherapy of arteriosclerosis and ischemia, we have isolated new potent substances thiazostatins A and B from a culture of an actinomycete, Streptomyces tolurosus 1368-MT1, which was isolated from a soil sample collected at a field in Yamaguchi-city, Japan. Thiazostatin was formerly called AG551} and its ...

Methods A total of 1368 patients (24% female) were randomised (1:1) to either TMC278 25 mg q.d. or EFV 600 mg q.d., in combination with TDF/FTC (ECHO) or a choice of either TDF/FTC or AZT/3TC or ABC/3TC (THRIVE). The pharmacokinetics of TMC278 were best described by a two-compartment disposition model in which absorption was characterised by a lag time followed by a sequential zeroand first-ord...

In this paperwe adapt thewell-knownBrzozowskideterminizationmethod to fuzzy automata. Thismethod gives better results than all previously knownmethods for determinization of fuzzy automata developed by Bělohlávek [InformSciences 143 (2002)205–209],Li andPedrycz [FuzzySet Syst 156 (2005)68–92], Ignjatović et al.
