We show that thin film cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells exhibit the phenomenon of threshold switching similar to in phase change and resistive memory. It creates a conductive filament (shunt) through cell reaching buried electrode such as transparent oxide CdTe based photovoltaics (PV). While existing PV, was routinely contacted via laser scribe filled metals, our work paves way an alternat...

OBJECTIVE Scribes have been used in the emergency department to improve physician productivity and patient interaction. There are no controlled, prospective studies of scribe use in the clinic setting. METHODS A prospective controlled study compared standard visits (20 minute follow-up and 40 minute new patient) to a scribe system (15 minute follow-up and 30 minute new patient) in a cardiolog...

BACKGROUND Scribes are assisting Emergency Physicians by writing their electronic clinical notes at the bedside during consultations. They increase physician productivity and improve their working conditions. The quality of Emergency scribe notes is unevaluated and important to determine. OBJECTIVE The primary objective of the study was to determine if the quality of Emergency Department scri...

In the course we have already seen different Biclustering methods such as Cheng-Church, ISA, SAMBA (see scribe 5), OPSM (see scribe 9). The method described in this lecture is Bimax an algorithm due to Prelić et al. [2]. It uses a simple data model reflecting the fundamental idea of biclustering, while aiming to determine all optimal biclusters in reasonable time. This method has the benefit of...

Electrochemical Impedance (EIS) experimental data recorded on an intentionally inflicted scribe on Q-steel coated panels exposed in a laboratory environment was analyzed using equivalent electrical circu it-analog model technique for the corrosion-inhibition performance. The sand-blasted steel panels were pre-painted with a non-chromate industrial epoxy primer having dispersed corrosion-inhibit...

Multicast is a key component of applications such as multimedia streaming, multi-player gaming and generic publishsubscribe and event notification services. IP multicast has a number of technological, practical, and business obstacles [3], and thus is not widely used. An alternative, ApplicationLevel Multicast (ALM), has been proposed to support similar functionalities. A survey of existing ALM...

PURPOSE Scribes are increasingly being used in clinical practice despite a lack of high-quality evidence regarding their effects. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of medical scribes on physician satisfaction, patient satisfaction, and charting efficiency. METHODS We conducted a randomized controlled trial in which physicians in an academic family medicine clinic were randomized to 1 w...

This paper addresses the issue of attributing pieces of medieval handwriting to scribes known from other examples of writing. The system is applied to manuscript page images and performs extraction and comparison of letter shapes. Letters and sequences of connected letters are identified by means of connected component labeling. This is followed by further splitting into letter-size pieces. The...
